Industrial Hygiene Awareness Training

This course aims at providing the students with an introduction to safe industrial practices for mechanics. It addresses many workplace hazards: mechanical, and non-mechanical, with the primary emphasis being on hazard and risk assessment and management. Topics such as qualitative versus quantitative assessment, hierarchy of controls and the role of the occupational safety are examined. Students obtain practical experience performing qualitative workplace assessments and the creation of a workplace exposure prevention program. The key hazards associated with working in industrial areas will be focused on, with emphasis on inherent and contingent risks associated.
